Repent!

Simply put - change and repent.

29 While still more people gathered in the crowd, he said to them, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah. 30 Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 At the judgment the queen of the south will rise with the men of this generation and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and there is something greater than Solomon here. 32 At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and there is something greater than Jonah here.-Luke11:29-32

A long time ago, Nineveh was perhaps a wicked place. Nobody knows exactly what the Ninevites did, but God wanted to destroy it unless the people repent. Jonah came with a mission from God, telling the Ninevites to repent and to hope that God will change His mind. God indeed changed His mind upon seeing the repentance of each and every creature. Today, the prophets of the Old and Jesus continue in crying out, "Repent!" But we are not listening at all. More and more unspeakable sinfulness and debaucheries are happening everyday. Change is not for some people only, but for all. Let us change before it is too late.
